Franke Olympus Tap Seals

[paulbanco]

Hi everyone

I have a leaky Franke Olympus tap and bought a new set of O Rings. Relaced the old ones with the new but the leak is not fixed.

The old rings seemed to be a bit more substantial/thicker than the replacement set.

Does anyone have any information of help they could give please

I guess this is the swivelling spout you are talking about? It sounds like you have the wrong 'O' ring set as they need to be a very tight fit. One trick is to pack out the grooves with PTFE tape, but its not a permanent repair. Do apply some silicone grease though, if you get the right parts.

Hey John

Got some silicone grease and PTFE, tried it with the grease and it look like it's working ! Thanks for the advice. Much appreciated
